I've said before that this, to me, is one of the major downsides of
dynamic typing. Once a statically typed language has been compiled the
programmer can head down to the pub. The programmer using dynamically
typed languages has to hang around doing long, boring, tedious testing.
Unless they're using an IDE like Pydev and have Pylint turned on so it
picks up errors as they type, in which case they can also head down to
the pub.
